Regarding Mark’s post about Rachel , the birth of her son, and a sorrowful name given to BenJamin, Jacob renaming him after Rachel’s death…. That happened to my family when our infant was born with a severe cleft lip and palate… I was depressed for several years after multiple surgeries for the child and other health issues.
A group of Christians invited me into their lives… that’s where the depression lessened and the hope began. I am still forever grateful for the hope and love of these friends… their physical, emotional and spiritual support.
Never underestimate how you can show God’s love as you are led. That literally saved me and gave me hope!
THANK YOU Pastor Mark for your reflections
Thank you Diane for sharing that!
